Water Park to the Ball Park

Went to Wild River Country on Saturday with the kids. Tony and Misty were in town and brought Gaige, while Cohen stayed home with my in-laws. Christine and David came with Alex-- Nicholas wasn't feeling well. The kids had a great time splashing and riding the water slides with their cousins. It was a very hot day--almost 100 degrees. You could barely walk from one area to the next without trying to find grass or wet pavement to walk on. Who needs a pedicure--I think I burned off any callouses I had!

At 5:00 we went to the new Travelers (AA Baseball affiliated with the Anaheim Angels) stadium where Phil was umpiring a celebrity softball game for 103.7 The Buzz. It was fun to watch tv personalities and ex-Razorbacks have fun.

This is Phil with Lindy Blackstone, the program director for 103.7 the Buzz andan old high school friend of Phil's with the other two umpires Al and Don--whom he's worked with for years.

Reggie Swinton (ex-Razorback/ex-Dallas Cowboy Wide Receiver)playfully kicking sand at Phil after disputing a call in which Clint Storner (Ex-Razorback/Ex-Cowboy Quarterback)left the bag to early. Swinton and Phil grew up playing baseball and football against one another.



After the game Phil joined me and the kids in the stands to watch the Travelers game. A cameraman came up to Philip and put his face on the big jumbo screen, but I din't get the picture fast enough. This picture is of Nico hugging the Travelers Mascot "Shelly."



These are some pictures of our favorite Travelers.





A nice picture of the field at the end of the game.



This is probably my favorite picture of the day.
